  • Patent number: 11949647
    Abstract: A tunnel is established between a first edge server of a distributed edge compute and routing service and a tunnel client residing on an origin server. Routing rules are installed in the edge servers of the distributed edge compute and routing service to reach the first edge server. The routing rules are based at least in part on traffic information gathered from processing other traffic that traverses the distributed edge compute and routing service. A request for content served by the origin server through the tunnel is received at a second edge server of the distributed edge compute and routing service. A path from the second edge server to the first edge server is determined based on the routing rules. The request is transmitted on the determined path. The first edge server receives the request and transmits the request to the origin server over the tunnel.

  • Patent number: 11591050
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sonobuoy that houses at least one unmanned vehicle that may be launched from the sonobuoy. The sonobuoy may include a canister, a parachute, an unmanned vehicle, and a launch mechanism. The parachute may be disposed within an interior cavity of the canister proximate to a first end of the canister. The unmanned vehicle may be disposed within the interior cavity of the canister proximate to a second end of the canister. The launch mechanism may be disposed within the interior cavity of the canister and operatively coupled to the unmanned vehicle. The launch mechanism may be configured to launch the unmanned vehicle from the canister. The sonobuoy may further include a launch deployment mechanism that may be configured to orient the canister with respect to a surface after the sonobuoy impacts the surface in order to facilitate the launch of the unmanned vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10884021
    Abstract: A verification gauge of this disclosure provides fit-to-pass inspection and visual gauge inspection that may be performed in the field to verify whether an s-type pitot tube falls within predetermined tolerances prior to its use. Verification only requires the gauge. No bench-type vise to hold the tube, no known flat plane (beyond any provided by the block), no protractor, and no accompanying spreadsheet calculations are required. In some embodiments, the verification gauge includes a square or rectangular block that includes four measurement stations or positions that correspond, respectively, to four different tolerances, two relating to face-plane openings and two relating to leg alignments. By positioning the tube within a station, fit-to-pass or visual gage inspection of face-plane openings and leg alignments may be performed.
